On Saturday, August 1, 2015 Col. Connell Archey became the fifth officer to be appointed military judge of the Louisiana National Guard since the state codified a set of military laws more than 40 years ago. As military judge, Archey will preside over courts-martial proceedings that are prosecuted under the Louisiana Code of Military Justice, the state's version of the federal Uniform Code of Military Justice. The Louisiana National Guard has about 11,000 soldiers and airmen statewide. Congratulations Connell!
